Murali Vijay off the mark in some style as he plays a delightful drive through the covers for a boundary off the last ball of the over.

Both the openers are in good form, having hit a half-century in their previous match and would be keen to continue the momentum.

Hosts Zimbabwe, who are looking to avoid the whitewash, have made three changes.

Prosper Utseya, Malcolm Waller and Regis Chakabva come into the team in place of Vusi Sibanda, Sean Williams and Brian Vitori.

For the third time in the series, Zimbabwe have won the toss and elected to bowl against India.

Karnataka's right-handede batsman Manish Pandey will make his ODI debut as he replaces the injured Ambati Rayudu.

There is one more change for the visitors with pacer Mohit replacing Dhawal Kulkarni, who also misses out because of injury.

Karnataka batsman Manish Pandey and Punjab fast bowler Sandeep Sharma are most likely to make their international debuts with India set to try out their benched players after having already clinched the series.

Sanju Samson, who was named as the replacement for the injured Ambati Rayudu, is unlikely to make it on time for the ODI series and might miss out.

Welcome to the coverage of the third and final One-Day International between Zimbabwe and India, in Harare, on Tuesday.

The Indian team, led by Ajinkya Rahane, would be eyeing for a clean sweep of the ongoing series when they lock horns with Zimbabwe in the final ODI of the three-match series in Harare on Tuesday.

Meanwhile, the hosts would be looking to improve their performance and win the last ODI, so as to get momentum for the two T20 internationals series.

India registered a narrow four-run victory over the hosts in the first ODI and won by 62 runs in the second.
